SOME PARTING LINES TO 1839 ,
BY BROTHER EDWAKD RALEIGH MOKAN , NO . 1 , G . U . h . I will not stop to speak unkindly Of thee , old Thirty-nine , Although thy course may have been mark'd
With strange events , like mine ; Though coldness may have dimni'd thy months , And ignorance still more Have flung its blighting influence , Thy genial current o ' er .
For never yet was worth or good Unto the day display'd , But it was forced to know that light Cannot be without shade . But shadows , as the poet says ,
Best prove the substance true ; E ' en so on us , who seek advance , Old Year , you darkness threw . We know upon the orb ivhich makes One emblem of our lore ,
That dark ' ning spots are sometimes seen , Which shade his brightness o ' er . So 'tis with us . Let Time , that proves The future—present—past—Essay our truth , —he'll find the spots That dim us will not last .
